Chapter 490: Chapter 411 Suppression
"Heh heh!"
The Qi Element Ancestor might have many little schemes, but its strength and loyalty are still trustworthy.
Moreover, it comes from the Elemental Realm. Without Chen Jichuan, the Summoner, performing an enchantment conversion, it wouldn’t be able to take even a needle or thread out of the Main Material Plane, which makes it a decent ally.
"Take these two Holy Artifacts. Shortly, I’ll enter the ’Star Cluster Graveyard’ to retrieve a treasure. Follow me, and if anyone interferes, do your best to fend them off."
Chen Jichuan tossed the two Holy Artifacts, ’Ashar’s Tears’ and ’Yisusi’s Staff,’ in his hand to O’Brien.
With twenty Fourth-level Magic spells at his disposal, Chen Jichuan had no personal use for these two Holy Artifacts.
However, for a newly advanced Ancestor like O’Brien, these could significantly boost his strength. Being the Qi Element Ancestor with a variety of techniques at his disposal, dealing with three to five Top Legends shouldn’t be too difficult.
"Rest assured, my Lord!"
O’Brien patted his chest confidently.
Chen Jichuan nodded, said no more, and led O’Brien into the ’Star Cluster Graveyard.’
Over the past ten years, Chen Jichuan had entered multiple times and was already well-versed in navigating it.
This time, it only took a little over an hour before he spotted the Alchemy Wings.
...
"Step back and wait for me."
As they reached the Ten-mile Wind Eye, Chen Jichuan gestured for O’Brien to retreat.
While the Qi Element Ancestor was indeed powerful, once the Ten-mile Wind Eye erupted, it would likely be heavily injured. Its mastery of the ’Wind Barrier’ and the constant magic from ’Ashar’s Tears’ wouldn’t be enough to protect it.
"Understood, my Lord."
O’Brien had also perceived the terrifying aura concealed within the Ten-mile Wind Eye.
It obediently stepped back, holding ’Yisusi’s Staff’ and wearing ’Ashar’s Tears’ on its ear, vigilantly standing guard.
"Entering now."
Chen Jichuan was far more resolute.
Having conducted multiple investigations before, he was thoroughly prepared. On him was already a layer of ’Life Protection,’ and now he added another of ’Holy Light Guardian.’
Then, he strode straight into the Ten-mile Wind Eye.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Wuuu wuuu wuuu~
The previously calm and serene wind eye instantly went berserk upon the intrusion of this outsider, Chen Jichuan.
Violent winds surged with destructive force.
"I need to be quick!"
Protected by two layers of shields, Chen Jichuan charged directly toward the Alchemy Wings at the center.
The raging winds were fierce enough to tear apart even the flesh of the Fourth-order Black Dragon Ancestor, known for its physical toughness. Among this chaos, Chen Jichuan felt the extreme turbulence of various elements, especially the ferocious Wind Element, clawing and snarling, rendering magic unusable.
He opted to forge ahead recklessly.
Even without magic augmentation, Chen Jichuan’s speed was remarkable.
Braving the terrifying whirlwind, even enduring the spatial rifts caused by the slicing gales, Chen Jichuan pressed forward relentlessly and quickly reached the vicinity of the Alchemy Wings.
Only then did Chen Jichuan get a clear view of the wings. Activating ’Insight Skill,’ his heart instantly leaped with joy.
[Item: Holy Angel Wings]
[Grade: Half-God Artifact]
[Description: The ’Holy Angel Wings’ is one of seven components in the Divine Artifact set ’Holy Angel.’ It contains the constant Fourth-level Magic spell ’Speed Domain,’ ten Holy Marks, and possesses the first special trait ’Speed Secret Technique.’]
"Half-God Artifact!"
"Holy Angel Wings!"
Chen Jichuan’s heart surged with excitement.
These Alchemy Wings turned out to be one of the components of the Divine Artifact set, ’Holy Angel,’ which had been gradually emerging over the past few centuries. A Half-God Artifact capable of forming a Divine Artifact is far more precious than average treasures, especially appearing at such a critical time—its value is truly astronomical.
"What an amazing treasure!"
"What an amazing treasure!"
Without hesitation, Chen Jichuan reached out to claim the wings.
Bang!
And yet, as soon as he touched it, the artifact seemed to come alive. The wings suddenly flapped violently, diving and smashing Chen Jichuan away while propelling themselves skyward, flying straight out of the Star Cluster Graveyard.
The wings were astonishingly fierce.
Bam!
Bam!
The two layers of shields on Chen Jichuan shattered, with the ’Holy Light Guardian’ breaking instantly.
If it were an ordinary Legendary Mage entering, they would undoubtedly have been obliterated.
"As expected of a Half-God Artifact."
"I knew it wouldn’t be easy."
Chen Jichuan had anticipated this outcome, so he remained composed.
Not only did he still have the intact ’Life Protection,’ but even if both shields had been destroyed, his Triple Immortal Light would ensure his survival. He was unyielding.
Leaning into the momentum of being flung away,
Chen Jichuan steadied himself in a zone where the elemental turbulence was slightly milder, quickly reapplying the shattered ’Holy Light Guardian.’
Then, he chased after the wings.
"After it!"
At the same time, he called out to O’Brien: "Intercept the treasure!"
The ’Holy Angel Wings’ radiated brilliance and immense magic power, a force no weaker than that of an Extreme Legend. Within the chaotic Star Cluster Graveyard, where mages were severely constrained, Chen Jichuan could only fend for himself; many spells couldn’t be cast amid the anarchic rules, leaving him unable to control the wings’ erratic flight.
But the wings seemed intent on escaping the Star Cluster Graveyard.
If they reached the outside, a mere block or two would ensure they couldn’t slip out of Chen Jichuan’s grasp.
The treasure’s brilliance shimmered ahead, illuminating the surroundings. The Wind Element centered around the ’Holy Angel Wings’ raged wildly, stirring up immense chaos.
"Such a ruckus—mages within tens of thousands of miles will sense it."
"No wonder previous Divine Artifact components failed to be claimed immediately upon emergence; instead, they attracted numerous legends and changed hands repeatedly in such a short time."
Chen Jichuan came to understand.
Even for Extreme Legends encountering such treasures, they wouldn’t be able to subdue them immediately while the artifact’s magic power remained unspent. By the time things settled, countless legends would converge.
A massive battle was inevitable.
"Magic power!"
"Completely depleting its accumulated magic power over many years will naturally tame it."
Chen Jichuan pursued the ’Holy Angel Wings’ as they fled out of the Star Cluster Graveyard.
